Well there are several stories about boxes. We had a big washer box or something that Sarah and Kathryn were playing house in downstairs at the Brown Road house. We had received a large clock for a wedding present and it was a bi-centennial theme. It had pointy things on the bottom. Kathryn was playing in the box (against the wall) and bumped the wall. The clock fell off and hit her on the head at her hairline in front. We had to take her to the hospital and get stitches. The nurses really questioned us when we told them that a clock fell off the wall and hit her head. They would ask Kathryn what happened and she would say the same thing. They thought it must have been some kind of clock that would do that kind of damage. That was the first, I think, of Kathryn's record breaking number of stitches. I don't think she holds the record anymore though. Alyson does.
The other story is about the Harp. Alyson shipped it and it arrived at our house on June 6th. I finally opened the box up at 10:30 that night and to my surprise and astonishment, It was not Alyson's harp inside. It was an old smelly musty smaller harp. I yelled for Michael, thinking that someone had stolen Alyson's harp and stuff and put the old one in the box. I immediately called Alsyon at 1:30 am her time and questioned her about how she had taped the box up. Long story short, this harp/box and her harp/box had gotten mixed up at the shipping facility. Our harp was in Boston and a lady named Nancy's house and the harp that she had purchased sight unseen was at our house. She was a little surprised as well when she opened up Alyson's box and got all of her clothes and stuff that she had put in the box with the harp to save extra shipping costs. Everything is worked out and we are to receive the right harp/box and stuff on Tues., hopefully.

Just make sure there aren't any pointy clocks above you. You just might end up at the hospital with a washcloth on your head!
Kathryn, please tell us there's a story behind that.. :O)
